I have to agree with DV, how are these nations independent when the first thing they done for "economic development" was get into debt with the IMF with loans they cannot repay?

my bad dv. i thought i was simply responding to your assertion
that the civil rights movement lacked a global dimension...that was your
point, right?now i happen to agree with your assessment of the civil rights movement. at a certain point, it was appropriated by folk who turned it into a caricature of its original aims (integration vs. the fight for our tax dollars to be re-channeled back into our communities instead of having us double tax ourselves).
let's not forget tho that the civil rights movement started when black veterans returned home from world war ii and refused to accommodate themselves to an apartheid system. robert williams of the north carolina naacp was one such character.
those returning troops had also saw black folk from africa, the caribbean and asia fighting in the frontlines of a war for their colonial masters. are you suggesting that's not international in scope? if we stay on topic, i think we'll find we're on the same side of the fence on this one...the lone difference being my refusal to denigrate the scope of a particular movement to service my ideological attachment to the occupy wall street cats.
